Prices have been tanking across the cryptoverse and instead of selling and running, I bought more Steem because of the bargain deals.

I don't see disaster. I see opportunity

But I feel down and here's why ...

The creative juices aren't flowing.

Well, they are flowing, but just not as much as I want. I have been struggling of late to find topics that I really want to write about.

My goal is to create quality content, so it bothers me when I reach the end of a day and I have not had a creative epiphany or an "aha" moment. It concerns me that when evening time rolls around, I am tempted just to post "something". I don't want to do that!

Content is king or queen (depending on who you ask). I want to make sure that my content is great. I want it to be an expression of my creativity. I want it to serve others.

I am still trying to find a community I can invest in.

Sure, I have joined 15 plus Discord channels, and I am a part of several community-centered Steem accounts. Shoot! I have even tried to start some groups of my own.

But being a name on a list of names does not make you a member of a community. I want to find a place where I can invest in others (and be invested in). But you know what? Community requires time and effort. It requires sacrifice. And though I want to be apart of a Steem community, I must prioritize the people who are in my home, those I see face-to-face on a daily basis.

Dear Steem friends, I do want to know you more, support you more, and invest in you more. When I find the right place, I will be there for you.

No one even wants my free online course.

Ok, that was a bit dramatic. Close to one hundred people have signed up, and for that I am grateful. But man, I want to change the lives of thousands of Steem users.

Deep down, I think all of us want to make a difference. I sure do!

If it helps you on your Steem journey, tell a friend or two (or ten).

More Steem Power doesn't mean happiness.

Steem is the lowest it has been in a while. I don't see a disaster. I see opportunity. So I bought more!

But you know what? I don't feel happier because I have increased my Steem power. I don't feel more fulfilled.

In fact, searching for happiness in all the wrong places, makes you dive deeper into a ... funk.

I know I need a mentor, but I have not found him/her yet.

I have not made it. And when I do (and it will be a long journey, by the way), I will not have done it on my own. I am looking for someone who has walked the Steem journey. I am looking for some who is a few steps down the road than I am.

I want to see her example and follow it. I want to watch his engagement and mirror it.

Dear mentor, I know you are out there. Maybe we have not met yet. Maybe we have. But when it is time, we will know.

Final Thoughts

Wow, that was therapeutic!

So the power of writing a Steem post has done it again. I was a bit down when I started writing, but by the end (yep, we are nearing the end), I feel better. Now I have a slight glimmer in my eye and a bounce in my step.

Everything perfect? Nope! But it doesn't have to be.
Striving for more? Yep! Step by step and day by day.

Thanks for stopping by. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section.
